    Great presentation! I hope you are not discouraged by the fact that you get fewer views lately. As a subscriber I must say, that these kinds of videos are hard to digest, because they are educational and as a viewer you are learning. And learning isn't easy. I must admit that I usually skip few videos when you post them, because its not that kind of content/entertainment that you just click-and-watch. But I always return to them when I am at a right place.
    Looking forward on your new series on specific philosophers! Keep it up!

    Nice. Been wanting to read Bacon firsthand after reading Adorno and Horkheimer on him in DoE. Seeing anticipations of Kantian moral law, and the logical positivist's views on language/philosophy.

  • @chrisg3030
    @chrisg3030 2 роки тому

    Can't Bacon's conclusion by a process of elimination about heat be described as deduction? That's even the name given to an argument form in formal logic: P v Q, ~P, therefore Q is known as "deduction"
    Scientists deduce causes, but they induce effects. in the lab and on the test bench - that's induction. Deduction is working out what's happening, induction is making things happen. That's what makes science practical and useful, just as Bacon wanted. Induction is egineering, deduction is reverse engineering.
    Eddington deduced thermonuclear fusion in the sun, Teller induced it on Bikini Attoll. But there's no reason why induction and deduction can't revolve round each other round time wise, several experiments in the induction of magnetism might have led to the deduction of its causes, which once accomplished, led to improvements in its induction.
    Some will no doubt complain I've altered the meaning of the word "induction". But have I? Maybe Bacon's meaning is just an idol.

  • @queerspirit2995

    Very white. I would not doubt he was guilty of some kind of white supremacy, I mean other than the part that he sees tribes as being the error of human ways which tribes are symbolic of primitivism and although once upon a time all humans were primitive, most white ppl back then were mostly focusing on indigenous cultures (i.e. the reason why Francis Bacon brought up tribes in the first place) every time they brought up "primitivism." Today a lot of white ppl still do. (try to think of my comment as less of an annoying call out comment and more of a comment that offers us a chance to think of the errors of our own ways.)

    • @femteezy1992
      @femteezy1992 3 роки тому +3

      This is the least significant comment I’ve ever seen. The moral uprightness of a man doesn’t influence the impact of his work.
      The observations made by Francis Bacon have contributed to the development of mankind. Whether your random accusations are true or not have nothing to do with his work.
      You seem to base reality off of a sense of oppression underlying every aspect of society. That’s true - the world today was built by exploitation of the majority of people before us, but it is also true that the world today is better than the world of the majority of history.
      History is grey, not black and white. Each invention of man has negative & positive impacts of particular people.
      Don’t understand the motivation of tying a video of a man’s contribution to the world to some oppression. That doesn’t constitute as a refutation to Bacon’s conclusions. Essentially, you said nothing but pointless complaints.

  • @sekhmet1379
    @sekhmet1379 3 роки тому

    induction is good but easily manipulated - it can be corrupted. Deduction embraces fact since truth is still superior.
    An extenuated step for us, but most relevant to Bacon's Era. Deduction was most probably contextual for Aristotle as well; we do not know what tools they utilised at their disposal inaccessible to us today. We cannot say our evolutionary standards are better since the classical philosophers were obviously quite wise in their own right.
